Everything about this season tells us that Alberto Contador cannot hurt Chris
Froome, yet there he was yesterday morning, looking tranquil as ever,
quietly informing a crammed press conference room that if he was not
convinced that he could get the better of Froome, then he would not have
bothered turning up.

In fact, he answered more questions about Froome than he did about himself.
Contador is used to turning up to these events as the favourite. He is used
to people asking him questions like: can you be beaten? And: who can beat
you?
